I have a young pullet that is very bloated around her picky area. You can squeeze that area and feel nothing but water. There is a ball right before the area that is bloated. I think it might be an egg that did not pass through the developing canal properly. Right now, she eats and drinks and walks very slowly because she is a very short legged japanese bantam. Any advice on how to help her "relieve" herself of all that excess fluid?
 
If you think she's egg bound you can try giving her a soak in some warm water. Sometimes that helps them relax so the egg can pass. If it feels like fluid build up she might be an internal layer.
